Secret Service Fail?

Or more coddling of criminals by the Obama Regime? Inquiring minds want to know as the Obama Regime invited a twice convicted criminal to the Rose Garden to attack the Republicans on the issue of extending unemployment benefits for those who don't like to work.

The news outfit breathless asks if the Obama Regime was aware that they invited a criminal to their dog-and-pony show on unemployment benefits.

President Barack Obama posed with a Charlottesville woman at a White Houseevent on July 19. What we didn't know - and what the White House may not haveknown - is that court records show she's been found guilty of prescription drugfraud.

It is also curious as to how the Obama Regime chose her as there are millions of unemployed, how did this particular one get chosen? She had a long criminal history over the years. It takes alot of crime to get convicted twice; most criminals committ ten or more crimes for each arrest or conviction.

(CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA) -- CBS19 learned Thursday that Leslie Macko, theCharlottesville woman who appeared in the Rose Garden with President BarackObama on July 19, has had more than one run-in with the law. In June of 2007,Macko was charged with grand larceny. The charge was reduced in court to petitlarceny, and she was sentenced to two years good behavior.Also, ACAC CEOGreg Wells tells the Newsplex that Macko was not terminated nor dischargedbecause of any illegal activity, but Wells would not comment on the condition ofher termination.The Legal Aid Justice Center, which represented Leslie Mackoin her claim for unemployment benefits, released this statement to the NewsplexThursday evening: "Between March 2005 and April 2009, Ms. Macko wasemployed as an aesthetician by ACAC. When she was terminated in April 2009, Ms.Macko applied for unemployment benefits. On June 15, 2009, Ms. Macko wasdetermined to be qualified for unemployment benefits. ACAC appealed thatdetermination. After a hearing on the merits of Ms. Macko's case, the originaldetermination was affirmed on September 14, 2009.

Ms. Macko was convicted of two unrelated misdemeanors, one inSeptember 2007 and one in May 2010. Throughout the unemployment proceedings,ACAC never alleged that Ms. Macko's termination was related to thosecases."

But we know for certian that the Obama Regime must have known as the U.S. Secret Service conducts background investigations on everyone who enters the White House, including a criminal history check. They would have notified the White House if there was a problem and would have denied her entry unless they were over-ruled by the White House. So, it is clear that, first, to get chosen to come to the Rose Garden for a Presidential event, she had to have had connections with the local Demoncrat Party where she lived or had a close friend with close connections or on the White House staff itself.

Second, it must have been someone powerful, as it is doubtful that a minor functionary would have the pull to committ the White House and the President to something that might embarrass the President like this.
